The tunnel already has a tube for the throttle cable as the FI uses 
one, too.

The short answer is yes it can be done. The long answer is that it 
will be a very long time before you get it working nearly as well as 
the FI should work. 

The 69 FI is a good system and you should be able to fix whatever 
problems it has pretty cheaply. The 69 FI gives very good fuel 
economy and excellent power. Your best bet would be to post your 
problems here and let us help you solve them. 

Do NOT go into carbs assuming that they will simply bolt on and work 
properly. There are many people on this list who have spent lots of 
time and money trying to sort out their carbs. Even though they were 
SUPPOSED to be a solution, they often turn out to be more of a 
PROBLEM.
